Gayanuka Alahakoon

Fourth-year Civil Engineering student with strong skills in structural design, geotechnical analysis, and AutoCAD. Eager to apply technical knowledge and problem-solving abilities through an internship, contributing to practical engineering solutions while gaining industry experience. As a strong communicator and team player, I’m keen to utilize and enhance my existing skill set with future opportunities.
